    I’ve been to 26 countries so far and really can’t say what my favorites were.
    My least favorite was the US.
    But it has to mentioned, I lived in northern Wisconsin without a car or driver’s license.
    The nearest grocery store was a Walmart 25 miles away.
    The only people my age within cycling distance were hardcore drug addicts and also gun nuts.
    Their idea of a fun prank was shoving an unloaded shotgun into my face and pulling the trigger.
    The only place to go out at all was a bar. People drove there with their trucks, got drunk, and drove back home.

      Why would you respond to this post with a comment of the opposite information than the post topic is about? You are the only person in this thread with experience in numerous other countries and instead to use the comment to shit on the country everyone shits on. Lol if this was the sat essay question you’d fail the fuck out of it.

      That is NOT the typical experience in the US

      In certain parts of Wisconsin, yes, but not the rest of the US.

        Gun nuts are everywhere in the us, a lot worser could happen to you in any state and its one of the reasons I’m glad I don’t live there and glad I wasn’t born there

          OK.

          As someone who has lived in multiple states I can confidently say that your preconceived notions about our country are not based on reality.
